Answer:

They encircle the planet 3.76\times 10^{11} times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We have 2.5 mole of dust particles and the Avogadro's number is 6.022\times 10^{23}

Thus, the number of dust particles is:

2.5\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=15.055\times 10^{23}

Diameter of a dust particles is 10μm and the circumference of earth is 40,076 km.

Convert the measurement in meters.

Diameter: 10\mu m\times \frac{10^{-6}m}{\mu m} =10^{-5}m

If we line up the particles the distance they could cover is:

15.055\times 10^{23}\times 10^{-5}=15.055\times 10^{18}=1.5055\times 10^{19}

Circumference in meters:

40,076km\times \frac{1000m}{1km}=40,076,000 m

Therefore,

\frac{1.5055\times 10^{19}}{40,076,000} = 3.76\times 10^{11}

Hence, they encircle the planet 3.76\times 10^{11} times.

Alex buys 2 1/2 pounds of grapes. He buys 1 1/4 times as many pounds of apples as grapes. How many pounds of apples does he buy?
galina1969 [7]
Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.

For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.

2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25

Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.

Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4

5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds

Number of letters in the given word is 11

there are 2 M's, 2 A's and 2 T's

the given word is arranged in 11! ways

three letters are repeating, so we divide by repeating occurrences

number of different arrangements =\frac{11!}{2!2!2!}

= 4989600

Roger claims that the two statistics most likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set are the mean and
Leni [432]

Answer:

No, the Roger’s claim is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Roger claims that the two statistics most likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set are the mean and the median.

This statement by Roger is incorrect because the median is unaffected by the outlier value and only the mean value gets affected by the outlier value.

As the median represents the middlemost value of our dataset, so any value which is an outlier will be either at the start or at the end will not the median value. So, the median will not likely change when an outlier is added to a small data set.

Now, the mean is the average of all the data set values, that is the sum of all the observations divided by the number of observations. The mean will get affected by the outlier value because it take into account each and every value of the data set.

Hence, the mean will likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set.
